Wireless users have access to basic Internet services such as web browsing, email, and VPN access. Wireless printing,
lab software, instant messaging, and peer-to-peer file sharing are not available via the campus wireless network.

Eduroam (has replaced Niner WiFi-Secure) -- Faculty, staff and students only
Eduroam (education roaming) is a secure, world-wide roaming access service developed for the international research
and education community. As of January 5, 2016, it replaced Niner WiFi-Secure, which will be fully retired this summer,
as the University's main Wi-Fi portal. Not only does Eduroam allow students, researchers and staff obtain Internet
connectivity across campus, but also users can access it when visiting other participating institutions by simply opening
their laptop. Click here for several Eduroam FAQs to help you get started.
